Another lessons here; 1. proxy sites with adsense works perfectly,... you can have a lot of revenue. 2. you can not control where this guys (users) goes to... ea. porn sites. 3. theres is a BIG Brother who collects and save the pages of your sites and where the users goes. 4. Googles can find it... they will ban your Domain or worst ... cancel your adsense account..... lost revenue...lost business. 5. You end up cursing..... 6. Do not use Adsense in a proxy site. If you insist...I can sell you my domains....still you can not use adsense but you will have some revenue.....:-0) using other methods...
Agreed. It is advised if you have adsense to take it down until all the issues with the Botnets are sorted out
Here is my honest opinion - If you consider Adsense a program that is valuable to you in the long run, and not just something you are toying with- do not take risks with your adsense account. If you see that proxies are getting banned - remove ads from your proxy until things settle. Keep running and promoting them , but just remove the ads for this time. For instance, I have recently purchased an Arcade site(gets decent traffic) that had somewhat problematic Adsense placement. It wasn't against ToS, and was getting good CTR, but in my eyes it is not entirely fair to the user and there is a chance that the user MIGHT get tricked into clicking . I have removed all ads from site until the new page layout is finished, in order to not put the entire network at risk. I know that this is "playing safe", but I strongly believe it's best in the long run.
Ya i think ill remove the ads on my site.. once i reach $5 which should happen by the end of today I hope google does not continue to ban proxies because I really like the revenue that comes with it.. Perhaps link sales will do me over till all is settled. -Also everyone says that bad adsense traffic is coming from proxy.org but i get no traffic from that place. So hopefully that will help.
Well done on your success now aim higher! Theres no limit to how much you can get, read, learn revise.
I don't suggest you use anymore proxies for. A friend of mine were paid 500-600$/day using proxies... and few weeks later his adsense account were disabled.... so he lost all the money. cheers.
Wow.... with that kinda revenue... damn after a week and a half id take off the adsense ads to be safe.... that is a lot of money probably lots of invaild clicks..
SteveAR, How can I block all traffic from Proxy.org? Can you send me your .htaccess file just? That would be ideal, Can't risk my two proxy sites.
well i have got a proxy site for a month. and i haven't been making 2$ in a week. how come u make that much from only 2 siteS? how much did u optimize? y don't u just show us some info like screenshots of reports of ur sites and also pm me ur site link. i have been trying to get into adsense. but no automatic site r working good upto now
$500-$600 per day is a lot unless you are saying per week. There is no use taking off Adsense after 1 week to be safe. Invalid clicks in the past are still invalid clicks when Google find that out anytime. Do you think Google send you the email of disable website or email of closure of account the day when they saw it? I don't think so. It will take at least 2 to 3 days before they will send it to you and no matter what as long as it is invalid clicks, you will still get that email.
I am allowing only US and UK traffic on my proxy sites. Visitors from other countries just get a "page not found" error.
That's a nice one... what about Australia? I receive a decent amount of people from Australia from time to time..
Wouldn't pay-per-impression ads be safer for proxies? Who would have the better banner or pop-up program for proxies?
I was up to making about $12,000 a month minimum from the good old days of Adsense but realized one big mistake after the Jagger update...I did not build a list in any of my markets. So now I set up landing pages ONE TIME. Drive traffic to them. Build up a list and then market products to them. This weekend alone I sent out an email to a list of less than 700 that I have been building up and generated $804.32 from the sale of a digital product. That is ONE email that took me less than 2 minutes to put together. Now $804.32 doesn't sound like a lot to you but try doing that across 50 or so markets once a month. That is all I do. I endorse one product, service or affliate link to my lists and people buy. Of course everything I promote has to fit the list market or niche. It is the easiest money I have ever made. I am generating more doing this than I ever did building those ten thousand page auto generated sites collecting cents off of Adsense! I do this over and over again and NEVER worry about Adsense or the search engines changing their algos on me. I can care less because I own the lists and Google can shut down tomorrow but I would still have a list of loyal customers to sell items too. Of course I have to provide value or they'd never buy anything from me let alone join my lists! Just my two cents on worrying about proxies, traffic, google adsense (which is pennies) and accounts being shut down, etc. etc. Create a real online business and stop steping over 1, 5, 10 and 100 dollar bills to pick up pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters.
Adsense is synonymous with Trouble, when it comes to proxies that is.. and adlogger will most probably not even help. Well I know I will need to clarify why I would say that... and before anyone asks... I own over a 100 proxies.. Around the 11th I got a mail from adsense about some invalid activity on my websites and yes I removed them immediately. I had reported some activity on my adsense that seemed suspicious and yeah I was correct.. But I thought they were humans.. guess what... Someone out there is out to get proxies, they visit you website and not necessarily from Proxy.org. Now when I say they, i mean bot, bots that only click adsense, and go undetected by adlogger. Plus sooner or later you get smart-priced anyways.. But then I made more from my websites after removing adsense. And I am glad they did mail me. Over that we have a new problem, spring vacations have started, the last two days have given me 1/3 a normal weekends traffic. And studying the logs makes one thing clear... our kids from united states aint coming in as much as they normally did. So, I would say be prepared for a few slow months too.... and frankly I forgot what I was planning to write... guess I better start sleeping more... But the bottom line.... Remove adsense from proxies for a bit, let thing settle down.. cause if you get banned, you loose just a few dollars, but loose your adsense account which is definately worth much more.. Cheers!!!
